HC Deb 23 June 1927 vol 207 cc2073-4W
Mr. TAYLOR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any representative of France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, or Japan brought forward any proposals in the recent public or private meetings and conversations at Geneva for a joint conference with Russia; and, if so, whether the proposals were opposed or supported by Great Britain?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

So far as I am aware, no such proposals were made.

Mr. TAYLOR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, during the recent meeting of the Council at Geneva, the representatives of the States which are parties to the Locarno Agree- ment held any discussions as to their policy towards Russia; and whether he can make a statement to the House on this subject?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

There were references to Russia in the conversations at Geneva, but I would suggest that any questions concerning them should be de ferred till my right hon. Friend has returned to this country.

Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the question of their relations with Russia was discussed during the recent meeting of the Council at Geneva by the representatives of the States which are parties to the Locarno Agreement; and whether he can give The House any information as to the conclusions that were reached?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I have given to the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. Taylor).
